Ask HN: What's your company's open-source policy?

I work at a company with 10,000+ employees. We make and sell software for banks. Here's our corporate open-source policy (names changed): https://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=Mw1BgzfT

What do you make of it? Obviously it's rather enterprisey. I think the "easy removal and replacement" dictum is unrealistic.

Does your company have an open-source policy? What does it say and do you follow it? Does your product include open-source libraries? Do you contribute bug reports and fixes upstream? Have you open-sourced any of the code you write? Do you maintain them?
